- Thank you! I finally cleaned that up. Meanwhile started 3 more ..I have a habit of taking too long to finish a piece, then I lose interest in it and just start something else. I found 8 from recently i started and abandoned, that are decent enough to not delete, but not finished. There’s also been a number of drawings I felt I “outgrew” - became better before I finished them, and it would be easier to start from scratch than fix them. Anyone else thinking that?in24.4k
- Lady Death Fanart Collectible: Part 6 Polypaint and base Hi, it’s time to share with you another part of the process to create this fanart piece. Polypaint As this is my first collectible fanart I didn’t have previous experience with polypaint so I tried my best and played a bit with it.I wanted to give a ghostly and eerie look to Lady Death, she is beautiful and deadly, but at the end of the day she is a woman that died and was reborn at hell as an avenging spirit, that’s why I gave her skin tone a bluish very cold tone.As you will see I gave myself some creative freedom to deviate from the traditional color scheme that this characater has in comics and illustrations.To add a bit of sensuality by painting some freckles on the face and the chest. The dark nature of this character was the perfect excuse to gave her a kind of goth make up, very dark shadows around the eyes, blue lips and fingernails. I know that the original character includes sexy red lips but I wanted this girl to have a sexy but at the same time creepy look, that’s why we can see some thin veins emanating from her eyes. The biggest chromatic change I did for this character is at the hair. Lady Death has a characteristic white weavy hair but in my fanart I decided to gave her a very saturated blue color.The reason behind this wasn’t only an aesthetic choice. I want that the face area strongly pulls the attention of the viewer so this area needed a stronger contrast. Another reason is that I want her to have a more modern look, as I mentioned before, I’m strongly attracted to women with goth/punk look. I gave myself half an hour or more to analyse the work of experienced sculptors that create collectibles and I discovered that the use of darker values on the skin is often applied to create a greater sense of volume and three-dimensionality. I found that areas with heavy ambient occlusion are the perfect places to paint with darker colors in order to increase the separation between different forms. Even though she has a bluish skin tone, I used a bit of warmer hues in areas that, in real life, tend to go towards red and pink, this is very obvious in the nose, cheeks, and knuckles. Thinking with a logical mind it’s completely absurd to have warmer tones on the body of a zombie like creature but I didn’t want to limit myself by using only blue tones, it looks boring and artificial. In real life these colors are created by blood vessels in areas where the skin is very thin. ** Scythe **for her weapon I applied a cool gray with some warmer variations, this color scheme is influenced by the work of H.R giger. Base I’d like to talk about the design for the base which, to be honest, I forgot to develop along with the character.My main idea with the base is to show that Lady Death inhabits a very sterile and arid land, at the end of the day she is at hell.You can see a that she walks over dirt and rocks, a sign that she’s surrounded by death and loneliness. As part of the landscape we can see some bones and skulls to reinforce the idea of lack of living creatures, yet we can see three hands that try to reach her legs.This hands represent that all creatures are subordinated to her power and seek an evil blessing with a simple touch of the princess of the damned.1- The hand with skin burns represents the souls of those who are newcomers to hell, tortured souls that suffer for the sins comitted on earth.2- The hand with greenish rotten skin and pustules is the reminder of the decay that has infected the souls of those who have been trapped and have forgotten their humanity3- Last but not least, the hand of a demon shows that even dark creatures and entities bow before her presence. The cherry on the top, at least in my vision, are the simese twins that emerge from the ground, this malevolent creatures remind us that in hell there’s only perversion and any trace of innocence is lost. Thanks for reading till this pointI’m really happy to be very close to finish this creative journey, last but not least it’s mandatory to talk about splitting the sculpture in several pieces to be printed, this will be my last entry before showing the final rendered images. See yaMay Zbrush be with youin1.5k

But nothing is discouraging enough to make me quit drawing. I think the strategy of drawing a lot of stuff and waiting a while to post is good though rather than posting it immediately and then feeling that sadness on the next set of drawingin

Mock Up:
My work friend sent the trailer for Death Stranding 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSN1rPPKK9s) and the music was so good that I analyzed it to figure out what I liked about it and it's helping my music making skills
Working on a new song rn using some of the techniques observed from that trailer song.. Planning to make an epic track to make an amv with it.
Wow! Amazing stuff, it's awesome to see you designing shirts and making prints! I'll have to save up to get one from you once my move is all settled up and you are ready to start selling! Really love seeing how far you are progressing, makes me so happy for you! Keep it up! and hope you're move goes well/did go well!
Best wishes!
Thanks for stopping by guys, @jasminerosepowell, @gregorya, @chomper2010, @patrycja.lerch
Kyaa that's so sweet of you Alex/Chomper! Hope the move is going well!! (My move went well and I'm settled in)
Made my first HUD following this tut! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgNgHVcuh8U
I call this the Star HUD
i feel like this could be some kind of visual cue for an audio call or something.. something that shows up in my characters' holos from time to time...
Looking forward to making more of these down the line!
Here's a view of my fusion nodes:
Coding wise, finally finished coding the main functionality of my Cyanscythe and Goldenmage blog!
https://mitsukiyouko555.github.io/cyanscythe-and-goldenmage/
Previously i'd mentioned i wanted to start an ethical hacking blog like a year or two ago - but this is that + some more other stuff..
It's mainly to showcase both technical tech skills AND more importantly, technical writing skills - cuz i love writing wikis as much as i love writing stories... i've also been told i'd be good at technical writing so this is more of a technical writing portfolio + a show case of technical things ive done before than just a purely ethical hacking blog tho the cyanscythe and goldenmage infographic/manga still remains though but since those will be quite time consuming to make, i'll probs start off with just one blogpost for the cy and den category for now...
The website is still WIP tho.. i still have to draw most of the banners, unify the banner fonts as well as draw the little icons:
I also started a new song and have been observing the techniques used in the Wilder You song from Death Stranding 2 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSN1rPPKK9s )
^ This song is sooooo good! I'm learning lots by just listening to and observing how the instrumental parts are arranged...
O yea, I also made my personal logo...
remember this?
It's now this:
